Many patients have had shrinkage of the gums and bone resporption which leads to the dentures not staying in place. Basically there is insufficient structure of the mouth to support the dentures. Therefore, implants will be the best options in this case. We will recommend a dental surgeon who will consult and discuss the procedures for implants. Once the implants are placed, healing is critical in having the implant integrate into the jaw bone.

So many patients that have had the implants placed have said that they should have done it sooner! They absolutely love the fit and look of the implant dentures!

Lower dentures are frequently more difficult to wear, as there is no suction to help secure the denture into place. Patients typically have to hold it into place with their cheek and tongue in order to keep it from shifting too much. Or they have to use denture adhesives which can be a nuisance to constantly have to apply, not to mention that it can be messy. Implant removeable dentures that are attached to the dental implants are a more reliable and cost effective solution in the long term.
